It is so normal to worry about every single food item during pregnancy, I was the same! Tofu is completely safe and actually a great source of protein, just make sure it's fresh and well-cooked.

Beta, soy items are good but always eat them in moderation. Make sure u pan-fry or cook the tofu well, do not eat cold or raw tofu directly from the packet.

Tofu is totally fine, but honestly, paneer tastes so much better! But if u like tofu, go for it, just avoid eating it raw.
